Hoi Leen for Chinese New Year

These dishes were for the second day of Chinese New Year better known as Hoi Leen or Official day for the new year...All these were prepared and cooked by my one and only Mum.... assistants were plenty but always one chef only...

Rawang Saito

When we were in Rawang the other day, we went to eat the infamous Saito Fish Cake plus the yam big mee...(tailok mee) Though the price is quite costly, we tell ourselves, once awhile, ok lar.. not often ma..

Now I know the way already, from the Rawang toll, turn right when you reach the traffic light. Then follow straight up to where there is a winding turn at the right again, go up the slight slope and then straight on till u see the Kentucky Fried Chicken on the left side of the main road. Turn left and the then you will see the coffeeshop, u wouldnt miss it...

here are the dishes...

Kimberley Street, Penang....

I love chang....be it saltish or sweetish... chang is glutinious rice covered with a type of leaves and boiled till it is cooked... In Penang, this chang is something different, must be hokkien style cos it is quite sweet... I love it!!

Hawkers' famous cruisine..

chicken legs, anyone???

stewed chicken in black sauce

Chee Cheong Fun In IPOH Town

There are many stalls in IPOH selling chee cheong fun, my favourite is still the Waller Court one. The one below here is in a coffeeshop behind KFC town area. This is not bad too, smaller portion but just enough for me... not so oily and the pork skin is fabulous.... cheap too... just RM2.20 per plate like this.

looks ravishing?

Kampong Bali, Tronoh

Lunch at Kampong Bali reminds me of home cooked food. Those of you who pass by University Petronas or Tronoh, you can stop by at this place for lunch. There is a traffic light 100 metres before reaching UTP if you are coming from IPOH, you turn right and go 2 km straight on before reaching a sign board Kampong Bali on the left hand side. Just follow the road and you can find this corner house. Students like to go there if they miss their mummy's home cooked food...

New Life in 2009

THANK GOD FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL BLESSED YEAR!!

2008 is coming to a close in 2 days time... what did I achieve during these last 12 months? Oh gosh, my memory is very short, I don't recall much ... it is like opening a new door in front and closing one behind.. that is what I am... always opening doors to a new chapter, a new year, A NEW LIFE AHEAD!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 TO EVERYONE!

Xing Yun In Ipoh Garden East

I remember coming here during my birthday last November.. it was not not really that but then, if you do not like to wait, then this is the place for you.. it comes instantly...
